Birthdays: Anniversary

In 2005, Ron and Carol took their first mission trip, to the Dominican Republic. They had always talked that someday they would go into some mission service. One eyewitness trip was all it took. According to Ron, they were immediately "hooked!" and have been supporting and working in team ministries since then. The phrase "you will never be the same" is true.
Ron Baker grew up in Greenville, Pennsylvania, where he and his family were part of the original church plant in that area. From the church family, he learned about grace and love. Ron believes that one of the most significant decisions he ever made was to join the United States Air Force. It was during those years that God used a staff sergeant who picked him up and took him to church and a lieutenant who gave him the Scriptures to show him his need for Christ. He decided to attend Warner Pacific College, where he graduated with a bachelor of theology degree with a Bible major. He was ordained at camp meeting in 1969. While serving in the Newton Falls Church of God, he met his wife Carol; they were married in 1975. Carol had grown up in a Christian family and credits her faith to the strong Christian women in her extended family. Her local congregation had always been supportive of both foreign and home missions, and many missionaries had visited her church. A large number of people have also gone out from her congregation to serve in full-time ministry. When she and Ron returned to Newton Falls in 2004, she began serving on the Board of Missions, helped plan faith promise conventions, hosted missionaries in their home, and led the congregation to a vision of serving by linking to ministries around the world.
